My very first offline event was back in 2020. I sold little to none, and honestly, it left me disheartened. But I still loved drawing—I couldn’t imagine myself staying in my full-time job forever. So I gave it another try. That’s when Vitamiinshi was born. In 2022, after the pandemic, I attended another offline event under this name, and I’ve been creating ever since.
My very first product as Vitamiinshi was a set of Genshin acrylic scannable popsockets. At first, I only made 3 pieces—then it grew to 12, then 50, then 100, and beyond. That small start really carried me far and gave me the confidence to keep creating.
I started out making fan merch, and it was such a fun way to connect with people who loved the same things as me. But over time, I discovered a new kind of joy—creating my own original designs. Building characters, themes, and stories from my imagination felt so fulfilling, and it’s become a big part of what Vitamiinshi is today.
